So ARS is collecting photo IDs for ePassporte

I don't even supply that kind of information to companies that I work for, let alone Amex, MC, Visa, Discover. |

They will lose most of their whales with this latest move.

I tried to switch from check to ePassporte a couple of times but never got a response from ARS. So with even more (useless) rules I'll just stick by plain checks.

Anyone remember the old AVS/Processor Validate? I had to fax them a copy of my license back in 97 in order to get paid. Big deal. |

I agree that they already have ALL of our information already so a picture is really not a big deal. But I also agree that having to send in a photo is stupid. Hey ARS, you already have everything there is to know about us, name, our address, tax ID if American, ect.

I am kind of confused by this move. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with them having your picture, they just want to make sure that you are who you say your are. If it is for US tax purposes, it is even stranger since ePassporte uses offshore banks for transactions. They have probably been burned by fake US TINs for the IRS. It used to be a $20 per wrong TIN with the IRS and maybe they changed it now. Who knows???

I'm not interested in the facts, I'm interested in my opinion.
|
They have my business info, not my personal info. I don't give my home address to ANYONE I do business with.
(Unless it happens to be a friend.) Think I'll be switching back to a check...... |

If it's in the company name, then that does bring up a good question. Your personal photo ID isn't what you'd use to prove that your company is legit. Maybe a copy of the Fed Tax ID paperwork would do? |

I've always wondered if there was a god. And now I know there is -- and it's me
|
Call me paranoid but that is just to much for me.
If I was an unethical person and some how got access to all of that info I could make a shit load of fake identities. I could get a birth certificate an open up a number of accounts and loans under another name. Yeah im just paranoid This is a list of the info they will have : Full Name Home Address Social Security Phone Number With license Drivers License ID Date of Birth As of recent if you got a new license A Digital Signature at the bottom right corner Easy access to learning how to rewriting your name My own mother doesnt even have all of this info so why would I hand it over to a big company who im not sure have control over all of there workers. There are sponsor companies out there who fire people everyday and all it would take is for one person to get that information and sell it to someone out there. I have a problem even giving my SS let alone the rest of the info. So in short I will stick to my checks thank you very much Last edited by JoeBlack; 2006-02-23 at 02:46 PM.. |

They have the Internet on computers, now?
|
ARS will make exceptions for its WHALES,(read: spammers and cheaters), they always do.
I can promise you they will not get my ID. I make sure that I have atleast 5 different addresses, numerous IPs, and WiFi connections and I stay pretty busy with travelling so that if, err WHEN, the Bush/PNAC/NeoKoNazi's come for me I will be nowhere and everywhere.. Peace, - Gideon DISCLAIMER: I know not all the Whales are cheaters and spammers but you go to almost any affiliate program and the top dollar dogs usually fit a typical profile |

Big whales are more likely to be typein, review site, PPC I'd say.
Anyway they've said on other boards that you can black out ss#'s, DL#'s etc etc. Has anyone ICQ'd them to please come check the board? If it weeds out fraud, it's good for every sponsor. Heck I'll paste this thread to someone.

We have had a problem with a large amount of fraudulent Epassporte accounts feel free to blockout your dl #, SS#, etc, we're comparing addresses on accounts to addresses on ID's for those webmaster choosing to be paid by Epassporte.
Jim: Yes copy of something from the government with your corp tax ID will be fine for corporations Surfn: Um no, most whales don't care how their paid and accept checks. Gideon: Thanks for the kind words we love you too Again this is ONLY if you want Epassporte, we don't require ID for any other payment method, however as basically 1099 contractors earning thousands of dollars I find it funny that everyone questions our wanting to know who does biz with us. |

This is true, however we need to verify that what you entered is true information. We are not just looking for a photo of you, we need to verify your ID card or any information that matches your account details. We know most of you are not scammers, but we need to have a filter in place. If this is in any way a problem for you please contact me or any ARS rep and we can work through a way to verify your information. If you have a Buisness account we simple need to see a copy of Federal Tax ID paperwork. ICQ 27236459 Last edited by EvilFubAr; 2006-02-23 at 03:57 PM.. |

Not really a big deal. I have Photoshop and know how to use it.

Toolz - I'm with you on this one.
People seem to forget that we are ALL Independent Contractors & if you walked into the ARS office today & got a job as an Independent Contractor, you'd be filling out forms (W9) & they'd be making copies of your driver's license & SS card. |
